Ouch, that's really bad. Apparently it isn't fixed yet :-(. Thanks for
the pointers, anyway.
I thought of a last option:
-leave the Tomcat webapps as is (without an 'apps#' prefix in the
folder names)
-configure Apache to proxy all requests
ProxyPreserveHost on
ProxyPass/ http://localhost:8082/
ProxyPassReverse / http://mydomain/
-add proxy exceptions for all other paths:
ProxyPass /noproxy !
I haven't tested this, but I guess this won't solve the problem with the
'/apps/' prefix (which is necessary for our URL scheme design).
So, it seems (due to the Cocoon bug) the approach I described in my
original message is the only one that will work consistently:
-define a prefix for proxied requests in Apache
-define all Tomcat apps with that prefix literally in distinct
<Context> containers
Kind regards,
Ron
